Hi, first post, hope i get some good answers.
Just moved into a new house at Kangaroo Point. The main reason for the place was because it was cheap, on the water and had mooring facilities this means the boat is in the water 24/7 and allows me nw to fish whenever.
Havent really done the estuary thing seriously due the pain of getting it out of an underground garage. gotta admit though, how we got it was shear genious, it was geting too hard and we tried to make everytime out count, so it was usually perfect weather days offshore(these days come 5 times a year). Anyway, want to get my first jew out of the way as soon as possible and am planning a evening/night session, tomorrow night. Here's a run down on what the plan is:
Location: Am looking at Baldface Point(but would like hints on how to fish the bridges)
Time/Tide: 6:30-10:00pm. Bottom of the tide is 8:24(so an hour or two before and after, as well as during slack)
Bait: BIG pillies from the markets(if i liked them, i'd be eating them), squid(caught a couple of outings ago and frozen straight away), as well as some large prawns(for bream, will have lighter rods out as well)
Gear: Penn Spinfisher 7500 and Abu Garcia Abassadeur 7000, both loaded with 15kg braid(have about 20m of 10kg mono topshot), both on ugly stick rods
Tackle: 7/0's octupus circles, strait on the mainline with as little or no lead as possible.
Will also be buleying with chook pellets and mashed pillies and squid soaked in tuna oil for bream
Thats about it, please feel free to critisize and comment so I can tweek my gear and plan to suite, giving me the best chance of catching my first jew.
PS. sorry for the long read and what is the story with pike eels in the georges river?(all eels freak the hell out of me!)
